Amazon.com Widgets Photography has pretty much become my family hobby. Why? Because if I do something everyone else has to do it. I can’t have anything to myself. That’s why! Anyway, I’ve learned to accept this, and so for Christmas, I decided to buy both my niece, Nevaeh (age 3), and my nephew, Kaspien (age…
Time for another Zivity set preview. I’ve been pretty busy over there lately. So this was a fun set to do. Trix and I were at a group shoot a couple months ago. We promised ourselves that since we work together all the time we would go out of our way to work with other people.…
I had another Zivity set go up last night, once again with Sarah Prankha. Usually when I’m doing a shoot for Zivity, I have some grand story that I’m trying to tell. Some weird concept that probably only makes sense to me. Well, this time the concept was pretty simple. Incredibly gorgeous girl lounging around…
Time for another batch of cell phone pics. 8-25-10 Using a cellphone for sports photography is difficult, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. The first key is to get as close to the action as possible. This is not always easy. With traditional cameras, this could be accomplished by…
While I work on processing the next batch of photos for the 365 Cellphone Pic project, I though it might be nice to toss up some more preview pics for another Zivity set I had come out recently. These shots are from Private Spa(NSFW) with Megan. This was another set shot on the first day…
So I’ve mentioned Zivity a few times before. It’s a pay site that I shoot photos for sometimes. Megan, Trix, Sally and Sarah all model there. Basically, Zivity is an online community of artists (photographers and models) sharing their work (erotic photography) with their fans. It’s social networking based, with the standard concepts of friending,…
A bunch of new pics to talk about today. 8-19-10 The first is kind of a request pic. My friend Vic asked me about using a cellphone to take pictures of drinks in bars. Bar photography creates a very obvious problem. Bars are poorly lit and since cellphones lack flashes to create additional light there’s…
I never meant to make this blog turn into “Mav’s Cellphone Project” and nothing else, so I thought I’d take a break from posting those to show something else that i did recently. The following shots are from my recent shoot for Zivity with Megan Gardner. If you recognize Megan’s name, then you may know…
I’ve said before that the real key to successful photography is having a camera with you at all times and as such, this is the largest bonus to the cellphone camera. Always being able to reach in your pocket and snap a shot of anything that you happen to see in any situation. This article on…
Ok, really I do need to get better about catching up with posting these. Today I have another shot from a photoshoot. I kind of like doing this, as it’s really my photography specialty and I like seeing what I can do with a more limited camera. This portrait was taken while I was doing a photoshoot…
Since it’s impossible to “really zoom” on most cell phone cameras as I’ve discussed before, one thing that can be fun to do is take advantage of the wide angle look of them for panoramic views. When given enough light, and enough patience with and understanding of that light by the photographer, some stunning wide…
Well, it certainly didn’t take long for me to fall behind on posting these. I’m going to try to be better about that now. But I haven’t missed a day, so lets try to fix that.My fiancee loves plants. And by loves, I mean she loves buying them and then making it my responsibility to…
But for the obvious lack of resolution, the cellphone camera may be the best thing that’s ever happened to street photography. The true photographer knows that you should never be without your camera ever. Pick it up when you get out of bed and carry it with you every where you go. To work, to…
Day 1461 of 365 4 lyf. The sun set and the day was done. End Year 4. 365 days
This is one of those photos that I was really looking forward to. I love cityscape photography. Really, most of it is rather simplistic, but I just always find the view of city lights from a higher vantage point breathtaking.The main tricks to make this really work are choosing the right time of day and…
